Cash App Customers Can Now Claim Part of a $15 Million Settlement. Here's How
Cash App customers have until Nov. 18, 2024 to claim more than $2,500 each.


Cash App customers that were impacted by data breaches and misappropriation of account information have a chance to recover some expenses, up to $2,500, as part of a $15 million settlement. The first data breach occurred in April 2022, and the second took place in October 2023. Cash App Investing denies any liability or wrongdoing of any kind associated with the claims in the lawsuit
The plaintiffs to the class action suit allege that Cash App Investing was negligent and breached other obligations to users when a former Cash App employee accessed account data without permission in 2022. In 2023, an unauthorized user accessed certain Cash App accounts using recycled phone numbers that were linked to the accounts.
According to the class action lawsuit, the former employee's actions and access to customer information resulted in 8.2 million Cash App customers' sensitive personal information being published online.
